🎯 Operator Intent

To optimize horizontal drilling in Middle Bakken by using advanced steering software and sidetracking when encountering unexpected formations.

↳ Use of Starsteer software for 15-foot target window in Middle Bakken, and sidetrack at 19,720' MD after hitting Lower Bakken Shale.
To minimize costs through regulatory waivers and efficient completion designs like wet shoe configuration.

↳ Waiver for open hole logs citing offset well data, and intentional over-displacement in cement for wet shoe toe initiation.
